Thanks a lot! It all makes perfect sense, and most of it works too.

However, the B-C# trill does not work, since C# on my oboe doesn't close correctly. The adjustment screw is apparently down as far as it gets, so I guess there should be a little cork under it. Is that right?

I also discovered that I have the exact same problem with the Db-Eb trill. Holding down the LH Eb and trilling with Db should, as far as I've understood, automatically close the Eb. Cork?

Thanks for the links too. It all seems to be there except the third octave key, the low Bb vent, the extra adjustment screw on the C key and whatever it is that makes the C# key look split (articulated C# mechanism?)

Thanks again.
